Hannah has been having a problem. The carpeting right by the dining area is wet
and it won't seem to dry. Spouse
originally thought it was due to a heavy rain we went through and maybe the
seal was not good. But there hasn't been
a rain for days, we have a fan on the wet spots, and it isn't getting
better. I think there is something going
on. Dr. Spouse to the rescue. He takes apart this, then looks there. Then he finds it. There is a leak in a riser. Since we were kind of planning on leaving
Cape Breton today, this sealed the deal.
No chance of finding the part here, so we readied Hannah for departure. Someone told us about an RV repair place in
New Glasgow, and it is right on our path, so off we go.
Cape Breton is beautiful, but it is remote. Mainland Nova Scotia is more likely to come
to our rescue. Stone RV... you can't
miss it... Yes you can! At least if you are coming from the
east. But we found it, and they did not
have the part. They referred us to a
plumbing store. As we leave, Spouse did
not know which way the plumbing store was.
Really? You didn't think to
ask? Argh... We stop at another place
and they give us directions. Spouse got
a part, and it seems to be working. Only
time will tell.
We leave the main highway and turn north on hwy 106, then
get on to hwy 6 west. We decide to
cruise the Northumberland coast on our way to Prince Edward Island. Our goals was to get within 100 km of PEI so
it would be an easy drive. Didn't quite
make it... Around 150km from PEI, a
campground in the Tatamagouche Bay with ocean views threw itself at us, plus
gave us a discount at golf, and we succumbed.
I know, I know... we played golf just yesterday. But hellllooo! That was yesterday and this is today!
It is only a 9 hole course with killer views of the
bay. The course is better than a cow
pasture, but not by much. But the holes
were not easy. If you overhit on this
hole, you are in the bay. Spouse found
that out. And the bugs that bite need to
be figured in as they definitely affected my swing on a couple of
occasions. I have blood marks on my leg
from where I swatted the little devils.
Even with all that, we enjoyed ourselves. The manager told us we could play as many
holes as we wanted, and that we could help ourselves to the ice chest with
water and gatorade. But we called it
after nine to enjoy our campsite.
Besides, the welts on my legs are already starting to swell, why give
the bugs more...
Back at camp, we visited with our neighbors and watched a
beautiful sunset. Life is good...
